Why?

If you feel ignored, it is probably because nobody has an answer for your question. I know how you feel. I get the same way sometimes and I know how frustrating it can be. However, I think this is the only discussion group I know of where I can ALWAYS get an answer for my questions relating to classic computers. Hands down, there is no better resource. As far as being opposed, any such messages you may have read opposing your requests were probably taken the wrong way, and the author perhaps intended it to be funny and not an insult to you. We're all as lost as you are. While it is definitely nicer to have a working system, I'll take the broken ones too, but only if it is something truly rare. I have been lucky in that about 96% of everything I have ever gotten has worked. The fun in collecting is restoring the systems to working condition if they are broken. Its always nicer to have a piece of history that still operates the way it did 10 or 20 years ago. And it's always nicer to be able to actually boot-up an old system and play with it, rather than look at it. No such thing, Enrico. We like you. Stick around. One of us ignorant fools will have an answer to one of your questions one of these days. :) Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Historian, Programmer, Musician, Philosopher, Athlete, Writer, Jackass
